How to Turn Off Google Chrome Push Notifications

Are you irritated by the Chrome notifications from websites, web apps, and extensions, and want to turn off Google Chrome push notifications?

Sometimes users subscribe to notifications from spam websites and get spam and misleading notifications from those websites.

So, in this guide, I’ll show you how to stop Google Chrome Push notifications on Windows, Android, macOS, and iOS.

No doubt Google Chrome is a popular browser. It gives an amazing browsing experience to its users because of its features.

Google regularly adds new features in its updates to enhance the browsing experience. You can join its beta program to use its upcoming features. However, Chrome also offers flags to use experimental features that are under development. You can even use its experimental features on Android.

Well, the Chrome notifications feature was also introduced to improve the user browsing experience. However, this feature benefits both users and website owners or extension/app developers. Users can get alerts when their favorite website adds new content. On the other side, it helps web admins and developers to engage with users.

What is Google Chrome Push Notification?

If you have permitted the website, app, or extension to send notifications, Chrome alerts you when the website sends you a notification.

Websites and blogs usually send notifications about new posts, breaking news, and chat rooms.

Note that this feature doesn’t work in incognito mode. Also, all major OS like Windows, Android, macOS, and iOS supports this feature.

However, the Internet is full of spam websites. But now the Chrome browser is smarter. It blocks notifications automatically if you visit a website and allows notifications from websites that send spam and misleading notifications.

However, Chrome offers settings to control notifications. You can easily change the settings according to your requirements.

Google Chrome also introduced a new feature called “Use quieter messaging”. After enabling it, if you ignore multiple notifications from the website, you won’t receive any further notifications because Chrome automatically blocks the site.
